We wish you were here, eating these amazing foods with us.

As far as undiscovered towns go, Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany, definitely doesn’t count. From early morning until sunset this well preserved medieval town is brimming with tourists. But an overnight stay is well worth the money, because when the day-trippers go home the restaurants once again reach a […]

Clear cases of sweet, sour, and colourful candy line the walls of Dr. Sweety and their vibrant rainbow hues offset the stark white interior of the shop. Colour, texture, and […]
The Sea Baron (Sægreifinn) stands proud in a cheerful, turquoise-green building on Reykjavik’s old harbour.
